Edgar Cayce Readings, 3738-1

(Physical Suggestion)

TEXT

EC: Yes, we have the body, [3738]. Now, as we find, there are specific conditions as cause the disorders, both as to the physical conditions and as to the reactions as are produced in the body. In some respects we find the reactions alter as much by the altitude or climatic conditions as it [the body] does to the responding to vibratory forces from medicinal or mechanical application. Hence we may know this is of a nervous, or a nerve reaction.
These, then, are conditions as we find them with this body, [3738]:
In times back, in the presentation of the body, there was that hindrance in the nominal presentation, and in the manner in which the body began its functioning as to the respiratory system. These, combined, have produced a lesion in the 3rd and 4th dorsal that has not responded wholly to mechanical applications to the physical body. In this structural depression there is an impingement that prevents a normal flow of impulse through the refractory nerves AND muscles in bronchi and lung, so that - with such a hindrance - there occurs those spasmodic reactions of area in lung that is minus its normal amount of blood supply, and the RESULTANT condition in lung and bronchi HINDERING in the manner of intake for the lung area. In the applications made for same, as seen, these hindrances are in the SYMPATHETIC as WELL as cerebrospinal tissue or centers. Hence the variation as exists from the varied characterizations of climatic or surrounding conditions for the body. In MANY of the functioning organs, in a GENERAL manner, these are near normal - save when after, or just before an attack, there is the disturbance in pulsation, or circulation, that makes for a stomach disorder, as WELL as a tendency of the soft tissue in head and throat to give trouble.
Then, in meeting the needs of the conditions - we would find, that were the corrections in the upper dorsal and cervical so aligned as to give a full flow through the system in an even manner, we would RID the condition in the system. There will be for some moons the TENDENCY of the body, through sympathetic reactions from astrological influences, as well as from those as are builded and have been builded in system, to wheeze - or to have a return - but these, during this period when the complete adjustments are being made, should be aided with the combining in the system - taken internally - those of Calcidin, that will add both calcium and iodine to the system in sufficient quantity and manner as to gradually LOSE these impulses and influences in the body. We would take these regularly, in one two-grain tablet each day, and when a spasm of the reaction should occur, these we would dissolve in hot water and take - which will be found to bring relief almost immediately, provided the rest of the system is kept in a nominal attitude.
In three to six months, with PERSISTENCY, these conditions should be corrected in this body, [3738]. Ready for questions.
(Q) How often should the corrections be made?
(A) In the beginning it will be found these may not be wholly made at one time, but as these are GRADUALLY brought into alignment these may be made more often. In the beginning, the massage (OSTEOPATHICALLY) AND corrections should be made; the massage twice each week and the corrections once each week, THAT making three treatments each week - Monday's, Wednesday's, Saturday's, see? the Wednesday's treatments adjustments, WITH the general massage.
(Q) Any advice regarding diet?
(A) Beware of sweets, and make for bone, blood and nerve building materials.
(Q) What causes pains in knee joints, heels and tips of middle fingers?
(A) These from a disturbed circulation and POOR elimination, or an INCOORDINATION in the eliminating forces of the system. Hence the massage and needle shower and rub are MOST beneficial, but were these corrections and the vibratory forces set in system as outlined, these would be most staying - and reach the seat or the cause of the disorder.
(Q) Should present masseurs and treatments be discontinued while this treatment is given?
(A) Well that they be combined in one! This would make for too much being done, were they made separate - but these may be given at or during these same treatments, though these would not be necessarily given EACH time the other treatment is given. This may be judged most by the character of the setting up of DRAINAGES for coordination of respiratory system, for kidneys and liver, and the alimentary canal.
(Q) In giving the Calcidin during the attacks, what should be the dosage and how often?
(A) Two grain tablet dissolved in HOT water, and it may be given every two hours until the spasmodic condition has left, but there will be soon response and it will not be found necessary very often for more than two doses.
(Q) The two grains at one dose?
(A) One dose - just said!
We are through for the present.

BACKGROUND

12/01/30 Questions submitted by father: "...What can we do about his asthma? Why has he pains in his knee joints, heels and tips of middle fingers? Why does he constantly catch colds? Why does he sleep poorly and dream often? What makes him so nervous?..."

REPORTS

GD's note: 10/61 [3738]'s father reported to his associate via Mr. [2834] that his son got excellent results; had taken him to doctors everywhere, no good, but got excellent results from following the reading - no more asthma at all.
